Police expect to identify murder suspect

Police said Monday evening they believe they will identify a suspect in a weekend shooting that left an Opelousas man dead.

Opelousas Police Chief Perry Gallow said police were interviewing a person-of-interest, John Davis, in connection with the shooting but said they don’t believe him to be the gunman.

Investigators found 28-year-old Jermaine Andrus shot dead in the 900 block of Emma Street Sunday morning. Originally, all police could determine was that Andrus was involved in a shootout and he was hit with a 40-caliber handgun.
